We performed a prospective parallel randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial. Eligible patients were assigned to either the P...
A total of 40 patients completed the trials, with 20 patients in each group. Although the skin area of hypoesthesia and the anaesthetic planes were significantly larger in the P...
Compared with 40 ml, 30 ml of 0.3% ropivacaine could provide adequate analgesia and reduce surgical stress in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer....
The global reach of coronavirus disease 2019 has led to the rollout of new generation messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines. As populations are vaccinated, some side effects will become more appa...
Multiple image modalities and electrodiagnostic studies were used to infer the diagnosis. This condition was expectantly managed, and the patient's symptoms resolved within weeks....
Casting is a common procedure in the treatment of extremity fractures, but it can lead to serious complications if applied improperly. However, there are few studies on the prevalence of cast-related ...
To assess the frequency of cast-related complications and influencing factors in patients referred to medical centers affiliated with a University of Medical Sciences....
A descriptive study was conducted on 120 patients with limb fractures in need of casting. The study was conducted from November 1, 2020, to June 1, 2021. A checklist was used to assess complications, ...
Pain, impaired mobility, numbness, swelling, and a burning sensation inside the cast were the most common complications in the first week after cast application and occurred in 94.2%, 72.5%, 60.8%, 60...
Due to the importance of cast-related complications, in-service training programs for casting staff are needed. Furthermore, patient education and follow-up should be taken more seriously....
Approaching patients with lumbosacral plexopathies or radiculoplexus neuropathies can be challenging and a well-defined strategy considering specific etiologies is necessary to arrive at the correct d...
Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy performed with perineal post distraction may experience postoperative nerve and soft tissue complications related to the perineal post....
To compare rates of postoperative numbness in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) with postless distraction and perineal post distraction methods....
Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3....
A retrospective review of prospectively collected data was performed on patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS, with postless distraction and perineal post distraction methods. Medical record...
Overall, 195 patients were included, with 94 patients (mean age, 30.4 years) in the postless distraction cohort and 101 patients (mean age, 31.9 years) in the post distraction cohort. The overall numb...
Postless distraction hip arthroscopy demonstrated a statistically significantly lower rate of groin numbness rates in comparison with a traditional perineal post distraction method. In the post distra...
The branches of the supraclavicular nerve are often sacrificed during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for clavicle fracture. No consensus exists on whether the supraclavicular nerve should...
We developed a simple method to make nerve sparing easier; Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) solution is locally injected prior to the surgical incision being made. This retrospective...
Incisional or anterior chest wall numbness and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less (p < 0.001) in the nerve-sparing group. The operative time was similar in the two groups. No significan...
Our study demonstrated that the outcomes of supraclavicular nerve sparing during ORIF with WALANT can reduce postoperative incisional and anterior chest wall numbness and intraoperative blood loss wit...
There is still controversy surrounding routine ilioinguinal neurectomy in open tension-free inguinal hernia repair....
PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases were searched for randomized controlled trials of ilioinguinal neurectomy in open tension-free inguinal hernia repair. Revman 5.3 software was used for me...
Meta-analysis revealed that the incidence of severe pain on the first postoperative day was lower in the ilioinguinal neurectomy group (ING) than in the ilioinguinal nerve preservation group (INPG) [P...
Ilioinguinal neurectomy in open tension-free inguinal hernia repair can better prevent postoperative pain....
Postoperative neurological symptoms (PONS) are recognized complications of regional anesthesia and orthopedic surgery. We aimed to better characterize prevalence and potential risk factors in a homoge...
Data were pooled from two randomized controlled trials of analgesia after interscalene block with perineural or intravenous adjuvants (NCT02426736, NCT03270033). Participants were at least 18 years of...
At 14 days, PONS occurred in 83 of 477 patients (17.4%). Among these 83 patients, 10 (12.0%) continued to have symptoms a half-year after surgery. In exploratory univariate analyses, no patient, surgi...
PONS are common after arthroscopic shoulder surgery performed with single injection ultrasound-guided interscalene blocks. No definitive mitigating risk factors were identified....
Exercise-induced pain and exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) are well described phenomena involving physiological and cognitive mechanisms. Two experiments explored whether spontaneous and instructed ...
Eighty pain-free individuals participated in one of two randomized crossover experiments. Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were assessed at the leg, back and hand before and after 15 min of moderate-to...
In experiment 1, the change in PPTs was significantly larger after exercise compared with quiet rest (p<0.05). Higher spontaneous MM was associated with less exercise-induced unpleasantness (r=-0.41, ...
These findings suggest that spontaneous and presumably habitual (or dispositional) attentional strategies may primarily affect cognitive-evaluative aspects of exercise, such as feelings of exercise-in...
